Fin's Fish Guide

The Garfish has bright green bones, and people throw it away because of that. But it hasn't gone off. That's what the bones look like!

Garfish / geep (Belone belone)
- The green is biliverdin, a bile pigment, and it's completely harmless
- It's only the bones; the flesh stays white
- In Denmark it's a proper food fish
- In spring he comes into knee-deep water, and by June his eggs hang on the eelgrass by sticky threads
- He grows to 75 cm on sand eels and sprat, and he jumps when you hook him

Green bones, white meat. Would you eat it?
